Steve Hobbs, transport manager for telecommunications company BML Utility Contractors, and Fleet Manager of the Year winner, has credited commercial vehicle solutions specialists Fuel Card Services with helping to drive his business forwards. Having bought into their telematics solution, which enables him to track and reward driver behaviour, his company “are already reaping the benefits,” says Steve. “Driver league tables aligned with a company policy of £100 reward monthly for the top driver has already yielded driver improvements.”
Taking advantage of Tele-Gence
60 of Steve’s 87 mixed-use commercial vehicles use Tele-Gence, the intelligent fuel management solution from Fuel Card Services. Tele-Gence integrates fuel card data and live tracking data, resulting in savings on fuel.
Tele-Gence is also intuitive and alert driven for exception-based management of fleet and fuel, as well as in-depth reporting on fuel fraud, pump pricing, driver behaviour, vehicle tracking and much more – with no long-term commitment.
Making the winning difference
“We get phone calls weekly from companies offering cheaper fuel, better telematics etc.” said Steve who previously had a more basic system in place. “It was quickly apparent to me as Transport Manager that Fuel Card Services would make an ideal fit for our business.” As soon as a demo was arranged with the company’s most senior management, they were impressed with the range of services and were quick to sign up.
“Quite simply, no one else provides the level of service that Fuel Card Services do,” says Steve. “When people phone offering their services, I quite happily explain all of the benefits – linked fuel cards, excellent reports, a dedicated team that stays in touch, and they all quietly go away.”
